Rose Morris Rickenbacker Gallery

In person, it looks more like Mark's 86 reissue. Another fine RoMo reissue is Gary Clauson's 1998 Pete Townshend signature model from Sept 1987. The guitar blew my mind in many ways. Notably, the bridge pickup. It was hot enough to cut through bricks and nailed Pete's tone very very easily. I have pictures of myself playing it, and I'm sure Gary will post pictures of it soon.

I'm guessing spec wise, yours may be similar to the Sam Ash guitars made in 1987... on the right here with a couple of ugly sisters (and my profuse apologies for even showing a guitar with a slash in this thread)

I'm already on there posting from the tablet (for offences committed against the missus earlier in the day - apparently I looked at her in an unacceptably challenging way)

As there appears to be little love on here for the smaller f-hole...

...ah the great Frank Carson...truly one of our most under appreciated philosophers of modern times...sadly gone, but not forgotten...and that's the way I'm tellin' it

....and bringing it right back on topic, those Sam Ash guitars from 1987 used a lovely, lovely, bespoke shade of FG...

Joking aside, what does the RM stand for in the Rose Morris guitars?
